Gluten-Free at Whole Foods

Definitely have a ton of grocery store options with an impressive gluten free selection. I’d only go with pre packaged stuff though

This is a very large Wholefoods with a lot of hot bar and salad choices. I usually get a gf frozen meal from WF and heat it up in the cafe but I did risk the food bars. Unfortunately I felt a bit queasy later on so not a good choice.

There is a brand of frozen bread here from a brand called ‘Something Sweet Without Wheat’. I got their loaf of harvest bread labeled gluten free, wheat free and dairy free and it tasted really great. It also held up really well during my road trip as I pulled out a couple of slices each day for hotel breakfast buffets.

Good hot food and nice salad bar. They don’t mark ingredients and highlight allergens. We eat here all the time. I think the food sits quite a bit at times, but I just ask them if they have fresh dishes to put out in that case.

They have a cafe area with labels for the food. It’s a self serve kind of thing so not the best for cross contamination. Only a few options were gluten free but enough to make a meal out of it. If going to get a meal with a group, this is still a good option since the store is large and has the typical Whole Foods variety. I mostly thought it would be helpful to add a review so this location shows up for others looking for food around here.

As a European resident visiting this store is amazing! So many gf options! Not only all the fresh items and produce, but dried goods, packages, quick/ready meals. Wonderful! Everything is stacked on the shelves with the rest of those items (no separate gf section) which I like too. I can shop for the whole family at the same time, not everyone else… and then me.

I hate coming here because it’s so big. You would think they would have gobs of gf stuff, but they have little and it is spread out everywhere and side by side with gluten counterparts. Please keep my gf stuff AWAY from the gluten stuff. I spend way too much time trying to find everything, and I feel like compared to Sprouts or Natural Grocers that they have the least knowledge employees and the HIGHEST prices. I also would never eat something from their lunch area because it’s a mess. No way I'm chancing that.

Don’t go out of your way thinking they will have GF food. It’s slim pickings. Among the fewest grocery options I’ve seen in a Whole Foods.

The food bar is no longer safe from risk of cross-contamination. The ingredient lists are not always correct. I don’t shop here anymore because the prices for gluten-free staples are so high. I do better on Vitacost.com for staples. I’m fortunate to have a Natural Grocers nearby for fresh food options in the winter when the farmers markets are closed.

The coffee shop in here was able to make me a gf iced vanilla oatmilk latte. They verified the vanilla syrup said gluten free and they use oatly oatmilk. Since I got iced, everything was made in my cup so to not be contaminated with anything. Wonderful treat for me! Also the store has many gluten free products and selection.

Some gluten free items but it’s not much.

Lots of great GF and even DF options. GF desserts, crackers, and bagels are a godsend. While not advertised as GF, their sushi if you get it without tempura and don’t use the soy sauce, is most likely GF. I’ve had it multiple times without issue, just used my own tamari at home. I don’t eat the wasabi or ginger- in theory they should be fine but just saying because some cheaper wasabi can be made with wheat starch instead of corn starch. I always read the ingredients and recommend any other fellow celiac do the same.

I don’t trust the deli, sushi or tacos so much. But I am ok with the prepackaged food and things that are clearly labeled. (As in the grocery store part of it.). I have had success with the hot bar, the paleo bar, some soup and the salad bar as well. And I like the Urban Remedy fridge for little expensive indulgences. My biggest complaint about the hot bar is that the food usually is dry and crusty but still costs a fortune .

Also one time a dish was labeled with no gluten containing ingredients mentioned, but there were clearly tiny breadcrumbs all over it.

I eat a Paleo diet, not celiac, so can’t speak to cross-contamination, but they do have a number of gluten free, grain-free Paleo items on their hot bar daily.

This Whole Foods has a good variety of GF pantry staples-crackers, flours, breads, cookies, even gf pie crusts a few days before Thanksgiving. Staff were very helpful finding items.

Lots of gluten free finds in store and the prices aren’t crazy expensive. I get a lot of my gluten free items here and they have a lot of non-additives foods as well which I require as well in my diet.

I did some gluten free shopping around dinner time so thought I’d see if any of the self serve items were safe. I was able to create a salad but they only had 1 gluten free ranch dressing available. I also found a chicken leg not made with any gluten. Everything else was slim pickings for celiacs. However I have since purchased an incredible variety of gf foods for groceries. Feel so much more at ease knowing I can expand my options.

Lots of good gluten free groceries and personal care items. When I asked, they advised that none of their fresh made food could be considered gluten free because of their open kitchen concept and pizza station. I chanced some veggies once and got sick later, so I should have heeded the warning.

In the Whole Foods gluten free section they have bake at home croissants without ingredients labels on them. The croissants have gluten in them and I could only find one single box out of over 20 that had a label on it. I just wanted to warn everyone who goes to whole foods as this is obviously very dangerous to anyone with a serious gluten allergy.

A lot of gluten free stuff (certificated)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had a gluten free soup and ended up in emergency with asphyxia..... 911 plus transportation and hospital bill was only $ 3000

Hot bar and salad bar for takeout items. There is a small bakery with some GF desserts. Grocery store is average-to-small size, but has the basics.

Average-to-small Whole Foods which has the expected staples. Bulk section and salad bar are nice.

I stay away from the open bars for risk of cross contamination but their packaged foods is great and same with the food selection and flours for GF. Their Carmel sauce and pumpkin spice have gluten in it if you’re ordering from the coffee bar, but their soy milk is GF. I would ask for a cold drink over hot as the wand they use for oat milk is a risk for cross contamination as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There are packaged, gluten-free options that are completely safe, but anything on the salad bar or hot bar is open the cross contamination. I usually do pretty well with the soup and salad but have been glutened on occasion from the hot bar.

Celiac friendly?

No
